Even with all of the talk of my successes this season and through my career, I’ve seen far more failure and struggle than triumph. Most days in life don’t go perfectly—far from it. That’s not meant to be scary, it’s meant to be honest. More than anything, it’s something that helps us connect with each other. Not everyone knows what it feels like to stand on top of the podium at an Olympics, or to become a World Champion—but everyone, every single person, knows what it feels like to face challenge, and to be resilient through that challenge. Everyone has failed, felt fear, anxiety, some level of depression at times, pressure. We will all lose someone we love dearly, and we will all experience grief so extreme it can be crippling. Those challenges are such an engrained part of life that it’s not worth hiding them, or running away from them. I’ve found it’s far more useful to use our own experiences to help us connect with each other, lift each other up, understand more about others and in many cases learn something about ourselves as well. To me, that connection goes hand in hand with resilience. On this Mental Health Action Day, I want to encourage everyone to consciously take time to make connection—with others and with themselves. That connection could be anything at all, but it should be something that feels important to you or is helpful to someone around you in an endeavor that feels important to them… (Cont. below in comments⬇️)」5月18日 22時31分
